Gordon's Dry Gin / Bot.1960s / Spring Cap
London Dry 40% ABVNostalgia Premium
A pleasant vintage London Dry at 40% that benefits from the nostalgia factor. The spring cap is a lovely detail, and the gin inside is nice — but the premium price for vintage Gordon's feels steep when excellent modern craft gins are available for less.
Spring Cap Treasure
The spring cap closure is a charming piece of gin history, and the 1960s London Dry at 40% inside is genuinely good. Bolder and more characterful than any modern Gordon's. A lovely collector's piece that still drinks well.
Sixties Gordon's Magic
This 1960s Gordon's with the original spring cap at 40% is a revelation. The London Dry profile is so much more assertive and flavourful than modern Gordon's — bold juniper, rich citrus, and genuine depth.
The Original Classic
A 1960s Gordon's with the spring cap closure at 40% represents gin history. The London Dry profile is clean, bold, and satisfying. This is the gin that built an empire, and tasting it, you understand why.
How Gordon's Used to Be
Tasting this 1960s bottling at 40% with the spring cap is bittersweet. It shows what Gordon's was — a bold, flavourful London Dry — versus what it has become. The juniper and citrus are vibrant and full.
The Real Gordon's
This 1960s Gordon's at 40% with the original spring cap is the real Gordon's — the one that made the brand legendary. Bold, crisp juniper, bright citrus, and a perfectly dry finish. Tasting this alongside modern Gordon's is a stark lesson in how great brands can decline. This vintage is absolutely magnificent.
Vintage Gordon's Excellence
The spring cap dates this beautifully to the 1960s, and the gin at 40% is magnificent. This is Gordon's at its peak — crisp, juniper-forward, and full of character. Makes the modern version taste like water.
